    Default RO Brackets

    Does anyone know where I can buy brackets to mount 4 by 40 inch membrane housing. Or have a home made solution to mounting them. Right now I'm just using straps . T I A

    I used 4” unistrut 2 piece pipe clamps to attach mine to my RO. They work great.
    Unistrut will bolt to pretty much anything and the pipe clamps just hook right in and you tighten the nut.

    Contact Ray Gingerich, the maker of Deer Run RO's. He offered to sell me some of the brackets he uses to mount his 4x40 membranes on the frame of his RO's. His number is 440-381-3916. You may be able to buy them from many other manufacturers of RO, that use the 4x40 membranes. I never took him up on it, I went in a different direction. I don't recall the price but It's not going to be real high, they are just plastic brackets.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    Another option, just Google "4" round mambrane mounting clamps" and you will get several options.
